meh. I can understand the top choice, it is a great movie, but the rest seem very… well, they seem like they’ve been chosen simply because the series is popular at the moment. And by that I mean K-On shouldn’t be number 2 But beyond that one odd choice I can understand the rest of the choices, even if I don’t exactly agree with them.

You missed Summer Wars, and this is the only one I know apart from The Disappearance – and I prefer the latter any day of the week. I was disappointed with how the premise of SW was being implemented from almost just after the very good start. Something far more serious and convincing was in order. Plus, most of the characters, main girl excluded, give off a very repulsive aura, almost like it was some western production.
